Question

I’m not sure if this is even possible, so I’m asking it initially as a question:

Is there a way to configure yt-dlp so that users can choose the language of auto-generated subtitles? Auto-generated subtitles aren’t exclusively English. I don’t know what triggers the subtitles being in different languages, but there are users who see Vietnamese, Dutch, and Arabic.

I’m wondering if it’s possible for yt-dlp to request YouTube to provide the auto-generated subtitles in the language the user prefers.

thank you!
